Yesterday "Voice Training" at YMCA Carlisle ... I really thought that its going to be hilarious... Me singing ...Last time i sang i was 18 in a church choir...half my life ago.... So when I left home I had that attitude that I was not there to sing alone in front of everyone else (although I had practice "True Colours" from Cindy Lauper just in case). How I was wrong and how i enjoyed myself...i didn't want to leave....we all rocked the ymca... We started with warming up exercises and without all of us realizing she was teaching every line of a song an we were singing it...together in a great harmony. Hannah when I'm settled on my new house with everything running alright with my studio (that's my main concern now) I'll promise that I'll go to Wigton and practice with you lot. Great energie came from you and made everyone very relaxed. Thank you...Did i mentioned what a great time i had today

Last Thursday I had “Words for Wellbeing” and
like always, I choose one exercise of the bunch that was my favourite. This
exercise was to write a story about a gender, for example a place of great
mystery or decay.

So
I choose to write about My great-grandfather (the father of my grandmother from
my mother’s side).

My
great-grandfather’s house was always a place of great mystery, of secrecy, of
quiet and harmony, of imprisonment, great magic and unknown power and loneliness.
He died when I was 12 years old and he was on he’s 70s and I remember at least
five occasions that I passed the day in his house. Probably the time he was in
the hospital, he had stomach cancer and died from it.

The
house was huge for me only one floor nothing above...just an attic. It had
added rooms to match the needs of the time like all the old houses in my
island. They all started with two rooms, a kitchen and an outside toilet, not a
proper toilet like the modern ones more like the Edwardian times, and when the
family grew, more rooms were added matching the family needs.

So
this big house of my great grandfather was in a huge land... not huge for a
rich person but huge for the common ones. Three times bigger than the house.
There was a vegetable garden, grape vines, banana trees and many other fruit trees,on the right side he had a place to make wine
in front of it he had a wall with seats in the wall where the grape leaves
covered and offer the seater cold shade while they were enchanted with the
beautiful view of the city and the sea, that vast blue sea. In the house there
was a special room where old things were kept. The food cages that I thought it
was for birds, my great-grandmother’s long chair made from cane. That I manage
to keep although it was crumble down to pieces. My treasure room... I was
forbidden to walking in... the floor was old and I could fall down in a hole.

I
like old houses and it’s the only place when I’m really nosy... it’s an
archaeological site... full of great wonders, old relics... You never know what
you can find.

Last Saturday we had at YMCA Carlisle "Inspiring Dishes 2". Learned how to cook a chicken less than an hour. And learn a yummy Tiramisu. Not need to say that I had a great time with the Chefs Richie Harkness and Chris Mc Grath. Every time you watch someone do what they love it's amazing, it's a kind of magic.So i'll shut up now.
So here's the photos.

Last Thursday “Words for Wellbeing” we had lots of exercise to entertain ourselves. I choose this one. We had to choose one scarf from 6 of them and make a story out of it, true or not. I was attracted with this beautiful brownish scarf with patterns and blue flowers.

It’s 40º degrees in the shade. I’m out of breath. Who had the idea of travelling to Egypt in the middle of the Summer. Of course me. ...I still couldn’t believe that I won that trip. One day I was bored, my son was at school, my husband with his mate, my girl friends all busy, my paintings done so I decided to watch some TV. Turn on the tv and this stupid commercial/contest was up and something made me call them. Felling stupid after grab myself a glass of white wine and decided to listen to music instead and relaxed. Days passed and that event had gone away from my mind. One day arriving from picking up my son up, I received a phone call saying that I won a trip to Egypt with everything pay for. Just for one person. I was disappointed and surprised at the same time. I won?????? Really…I not used to winning anything in my life. I work hard to get what I want…one person only, that’s impossible, what about my husband and my son. Hurrying with this thoughts didn’t realize my husband arrived and was looking at me wondering what was going on. I explained. He said to go that I would be mad if I didn’t. I answered him that I would think about. The next day I had this box waiting downstairs. “Happy Birthday” said on the envelope and inside a note saying this was for your birthday but now you will need it for our trip. I open this box confused, trying to imagine what it was. To my surprise….the gorgeous brownish scarf with blue flowers that I had mentioned to my son that I would love to have it after we saw it on a charity shop. Tears came rolling down my face.

It’s all fiction. Never been to Egypt. Never won anything in my life...
